ABOUT THE BOOK 

This is the story of a Himalayan community and their struggle for a certain quality of life, both for themselves and for the environment that shelters them. In the context of human geography, ecology and development, the intensely human stories of these hill people are told against a backdrop that gave the world the defining experiences of the Chipko movement, the Tehri Dam controversy, and the ‘Save the Doon’ campaign.
